Configuring Targets

Each space that is replicating to another space (or spaces) is actually replicating to the local gateway of the target space, and that gateway is in charge of dispatching the replication to the relevant partitions. Such replicating space needs be configured with the name of each of the target gateways and replication related parameters per gateway or for all gateways.

Each configuration can be configured for all gateways or specifically per each gateway as seen in the above example, max-redo-log-capacity is configured for all gateways while bulk-size is specifically overridden in the configuration of HONGKONG gateway target. A recommended reading regarding the replication redo-log is Controlling the Replication Redo Log.

Configurable Parameters

Property

Description

Default

bulk-size

Specifies the size of each replication bulk in terms of replication packets

100 packets

pending-operation-threshold

Specifies the threshold of number of packets that are pending replication that once breached, a replication bulk will be transmitted

100 packets

idle-time-threshold

Specifies the maximum time to wait since the last time a replication bulk was transmitted, once elapsed, a replication bulk will be transmitted even if the pending-operation-threshold is not reached

1000 milliseconds

max-redo-log-capacity

Specifies the maximum number of packets that should be held in the redo-log for a replication gateway (-1 means unlimited)

100,000,000

on-redo-log-capacity-exceeded

drop-oldest will result in dropping the oldest packet in the redo-log once the capacity is exceeded, block-operations will result in blocking all new replicated operations by denying such new operation by throwing an exception to the operation invoker.

drop-oldest

If one of the gateway targets name matches the local-gateway-name, it will be filtered and removed from the list at deploy time. This may be helpful for creating symmetric configuration which is demonstrated at Multi-Site Replication (WAN) page.
